"Virgin and Child" - Lot 212
"Virgin and Child" Oval roundel in grisaille, and silver yellow. Representing a crowned and nimbed Virgin, with long curly golden hair falling on her shoulders. She is dressed in a long dress with edges bordered by a gold braid that falls on her feet and a veil that comes back in an apron with a V-shaped pleat that comes to rest on Mary's left arm. Jesus delicately takes with his left hand the chin of his Mother. In his right hand, he holds a fruit, a pear? This scene is set against a background of a fortified city and rolling countryside bordered by mountains in the distance. Germany, early 16th century (Rare iconography marked by a great gentleness in the Child's gesture; wear). H : 27 - L : 22 cm Provenance : Jean Villette Collection
